A ball is projected as shown in figure. The ball will return to point:

A ball is projected from the ground with speed u at an angle alpha with horizontal. It collides with a wall at a distance a from the point of projection and returns to its original position. Find the coefficient of restitution between the ball and the wall.

An urn contains 5 red and 2 green balls. A ball is drawn at random from the urn. If the drawn ball is green, then a red ball is added to the urn and if the drawn ball is red, then a green ball is added to the urn, the original ball is not returned to the urn. Now, a second ball is drawn at random from it. The probability that the second ball is red is

A ball of mass 2 kg moving with 4 m/s collides elastically with a stationary ball. If it continues to move in original direction with 1/4th of its original velocity. Find velocity of centre of mass of system

A spherical ball of lead has been melted and meade in to smaller balls of half the radius of the original one. How many balls can be made?

Some identical balls are arranged in rows to form an equilateral triangle. The first row consists of one ball, the second row consists of row balls and so on. If 99 more identical balls are added to the total number of balls used in forming the equilateral triangle, then all these balls can be arranged in a square whose each side contains exactly 2 balls less than the number of balls each side of the triangle contains. Then, the number of balls used to form the equilateral triangle is

A small positively charged ball of mass m is suspended by an insulating thread of length L. This ball remains in equilibrium with string horizontal when another small charged ball is placed exactly at a distance L below the point of suspension of the first ball. The second ball is slowly moved away from the first ball to a far away point. (The second ball is moved horizontally so that the first ball does not accelerate). As a result the first ball lowers down to the original position of the second ball and the string become vertical. Find the work done by the external agent in removing the second ball.

A ball moving with a velocity 12m/s strikes an identical ball at rest.After collision both balls move in directions making 30^(0) with original direction of motion.speeds of the balls after collision are (in ms^(-1) ) ?

A ball A of mass 0.2 strikes another ball B of unknown mass at rest . If the ball A makes an elastic head on collision and then rebounds at one half of its original speed , then calculate the mass of ball B .
